I am a lung specialist and am on the Specialist Register with the General Medical Council (GMC) as a Consultant in Respiratory Medicine providing specialist diagnosis and treatment for
respiratory, chest and sleep disorders. I have been specialising in respiratory medicine for over 20 years, with more than 10 years experience as an NHS Consultant. I typically see patients with
cough, wheeze, breathlessness and snoring. I have expertise in a wide variety of lung diseases particularly asthma, sarcoidosis, sleep apnoea, tuberculosis (TB), pneumonia, lung cancer and pleural
disease e.g. pneumothorax and pleural effusion. I am particularly interested in seeing patients with unexplained breathlessness or cough and will work with you in a methodical manner to establish a
diagnosis and formulate a personalised management plan.

I trained in Respiratory Medicine in London teaching hospitals including The Royal Brompton, The Hammersmith, St Mary's and Charing Cross Hospitals. During my postgraduate training I obtained a
Master of Science with Distinction in Respiratory Medicine (MSc) followed by a Doctorate in Respiratory Medicine (MD), both at the National Heart & Lung Institute, Imperial College London.

In April 2004 I began work as a Consultant in Respiratory Medicine at The Whittington Hospital NHS Trust in North London. In July 2012 I moved to Ealing Hospital NHS Trust in West London as a
Consultant in Respiratory Medicine﻿ to take on the role of Lead Consultant for Tuberculosis (TB) and Clinical Lead Consultant in Respiratory Medicine﻿ for the hospital.

In September 2014, after 22 years service in the NHS (more than 10 of which were at Consultant level) I moved into full-time independent practice. I divide my professional time between seeing
private patients, medicolegal work and aviation medicine. I am still an Honorary NHS Consultant in Respiratory Medicine at the Royal Brompton & Harefield Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. I was
revalidated by the GMC on 7th October 2015 with my next revalidation due in October 2020. My most recent Consultant Appraisal was on 29th September 2017.

I undertook specialist Expert Witness training with Bond Solon and was successful in achieving the Cardiff University Law School & Bond Solon Certificate in Expert Witness training. Since then I
have steadily built up a specialist respiratory medicolegal practice.﻿﻿

I am Consultant Adviser in Respiratory Medicine to the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), a role that sees me assessing and advising pilots and air traffic controllers with respiratory
problems.
